Abstract:
|
Wave storms play a key role in micro-tidal environments like the NW Mediterranean Sea. However, the physics of wave generation and propagation involve uncertainty, specially because most of the measurements that we have are in local points (i.e. buoys). This shortcoming can be alleviated with spatial characterization derived from regional wave models. The aim of this TFM is to characterize the main spatial features (tracking) of a subset of recent wave storm events at the Catalan Coast. Results will serve for improving a coastal early warning system. |
